The concubine is on top, the supreme love

Chapter 119 Lake

"What should I do if I catch it?" Sheng Wan stared at the little mushroom curiously.

But I saw the cute and pitiful look in the cute big eyes of the little mushroom.

"...What are you looking at! If you dare to deceive me, I will throw you into the cesspit!" She couldn't blame Sheng Wan for being vulgar.If you want to leave most of the night, but you are forced to be stuck in this place because of it.

Not only was he frightened, but he also had to think about the problem.

What would you think?
"Woooo—" the little mushroom let out a low cry of fear upon hearing this.

Unbearable flashed in Sheng Wan's eyes.

"If you catch one, you've destroyed the formation. You should be able to pass." Ji Chongxiao said.

Sheng Wan blinked and said, "Then let's go, let the little guy go later."

Little Mushroom seemed to understand what she said, and let out a cheer.

Ji Chongxiao nodded and walked forward.

Walking to the place Sheng Wan inspected just now, she found that the things here were different from what she had seen before.

When the two of them crossed the boundary, Ji Chongxiao put the little mushroom back where it was.

The formation is restored, let the treasure hunting team continue to circle around inside!
The further you go in, the air seems to be getting colder.In the darkness, the tiny ray of light in Shenghou's hand is like a bubble squeezed by the darkness, if you are not careful, it will be squeezed and deformed!
"I have walked the night road before, why is the pressure so great this time?" The feeling of dreadful fear that felt like being in an ancient tomb hit my heart.

Ji Chongxiao didn't respond.

The two walked through the darkness for a long time, and when it was almost dawn, they stopped and found an open space to rest by a big tree!

The sky is gradually brightening, and the morning glow is scattered in the forest, which is indescribably quiet and mysterious.

The two rested for three or four hours before getting ready to set off again.

It is more convenient to go anywhere during the day, and the two quickly found a grassy path, which seemed to have been abandoned a long time ago.

Ordinarily, there should be no human habitation in such a large virgin forest.This path must have been walked by someone for many years. Although it is abandoned, it shows that there were indeed people who lived nearby!

People living in this kind of primeval forest, even humans, should be like savages.

The two decided to walk down the path to see if they could find any clues.

As a result, along the way, Ji Chongxiao found a broken kettle on the side of the road. There were still water stains where the kettle was located, which was obviously left just now.

"This kettle is exactly the same as Ma Sankai's kettle, and it should have been thrown here by someone from the treasure hunting team," Sheng Wan said.

Ji Chongxiao agreed, "The formation is broken by us, but they are moving faster than us? If time and space are correct, then what should have caused them to rush overnight!"

"An accident?" Sheng Wan expressed doubts and thought for a while, "An accident that had to travel overnight? Could it be that someone chased them?"

"To know what's going on? We need to go check it out."

Sheng Wan heard the questioning meaning in his tone, and nodded immediately.

"Let's go! Go and see what's going on first."

Ji Chongxiao glanced at the broken hole on the kettle. Such a hard kettle cannot be broken by simply falling on the ground. The hole seems to be broken by a huge force!
The two walked forward quickly along the path, and after a while they came to a downhill road, and at the end of the downhill road was a piece of blue amber, which was in the shape of a belt, under a cliff, and on the shore beside the lake. On the edge, there are a few stone houses scattered here and there.

The two looked at each other, then ran along the path towards the house.

Behind a big tree one or two hundred meters away from the house, the two hid themselves and observed what was wrong around the house.

It was very quiet around the house, hardly a sound at all.

"Didn't they go into the house?" According to their previous habits, they should go in and check the house when they see it.And when she came, she observed the surrounding terrain, except for this path, there was almost no way out.

Let's put it this way, the place where the amber is located is like a basin, low in the middle and high around.

"A team of nearly 1000 people, if it's really here, these few houses can't accommodate so many people." Ji Chongxiao said with an unpredictable expression. Although he didn't know why, he always felt something was wrong.

"You counted right, so where did they go? Didn't they come in along this road?" Sheng Wan tilted his head and looked around.

Suddenly, the strangeness on her face turned into shock and terror!
Ji Chongxiao followed her gaze, but saw an old woman standing behind the two at some point. Her face was full of horrible wrinkles, and her body was crooked and deformed. She didn't look like a person, but a monster!

"Suddenly, she opened her mouth and spit out a string of muffled breaths, words that the two of them could not understand.

Ji Chongxiao obviously had a look of incomprehension.

But Sheng Wan's eyes suddenly lit up!
The old woman's language is a bit like that of the ancient nomads in the north. She once went to Changbai Mountain with her grandfather to excavate ancient tombs, and learned a little basic language of the local ethnic minorities from her grandfather.

Unexpectedly, such a coincidence.

"Grandma, we are a treasure hunting team. Have you ever seen a large group of people pass by here before?" Sheng Wan's attitude was very polite.

The old woman looked Sheng Yu up and down with fierce eyes, and then said vigilantly, "When the dawn was approaching, I heard a lot of footsteps outside and the roar of monsters. I don't know if it has something to do with your team."

Sheng Wan found a little clue and gave it away with a frown.

"People who came here to hunt for treasure in previous years either died tragically or were seriously injured and waited to die. You are still young, little girl, so why come here to sacrifice your life in vain." The old woman said quietly.

Sheng Wan smiled and said, "Grandma, I'm here to find something very important to me. If I don't get that thing, I will die."

The old woman came up, and she saw that she was carrying an old basket on her back, and there were some firewood and green fruits in the basket.

"Little girl, come with me."

Sheng Wan glanced at Ji Chongxiao and nodded.

The two followed the old woman all the way to one of the houses made of black stones.

There is no floor, only soil, a table, a bed, and a stove. The facilities in the house look backward and dilapidated.

"I only have green fruits here. If you are hungry, eat some." After speaking, the old man picked up an irregular ball and walked out the door, walking towards the small lake.

Sheng Yu signaled Ji Chongxiao to stay here, and she quickly walked out of the house to follow the old woman.

Seeing the old woman holding water with that ball, she couldn't help but ask, "Grandma, is this thing in your hand a coconut shell?"

"The little girl knows a lot." The old woman raised her eyes, with admiration in her cloudy eyes, and her tone was much gentler.

Sheng Wan couldn't laugh anymore, and quickly summoned the little fox to a clay pot, filled the pot with water, and walked back to the house with her under the strange eyes of the old woman.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Sheng Wan took out dry food from the little fox, such as jerky, mantou, snacks, etc., and even a small jar of pickles!

The old woman couldn't help being surprised to see that she had turned into so much food as if by magic.

"Mother-in-law, this is the food we brought. Don't eat green fruits. You won't be full if you eat just that." Sheng Wan warmly greeted her to take a seat.

After a while, the three of them sat on the table, as if they were grandparents and grandchildren.

The old woman ate a piece of mantou and pickles with trembling hands, and her expression was obviously different.She eats green fruits all the year round, and her sense of taste is almost degraded.Steamed buns and pickles are definitely delicious to her!
"You girl is different from others, you know how to share with others." After eating, the old woman looked at Sheng Hou and said slowly.

Sheng Wan smiled, but it was just in time for dinner.

"Grandmother, you just said that you heard a lot of footsteps when the sky was about to dawn, and you said there were some monsters? Can you tell us in detail?" Sheng Wan asked sincerely.

Ji Chongxiao watched silently from the side.

The old woman thought for a while and said slowly, "I have lived here for nearly my whole life. There were a few elders living with me here earlier, but they were old and dead, and I was the only one left."

She paused, as if thinking of something sad.

"Little girl, there is an unknown rule here, which has been passed down from generation to generation, that is, you are not allowed to go out after the sun goes down, even if something terrible happens outside!"

"Why?" Sheng Wan was surprised.

"If you go out at night, you will be eaten by evil beasts that are only active at night. The neighbor next to me died because he was thirsty and went to the lake to drink water at night." The old woman said slowly.

A flash of surprise flashed in Sheng Wan's eyes, evil beast?

She quickly glanced at Ji Chongxiao.

Last night, Ji Chongxiao mentioned to her that she saw an invisible giant walking in front of her. Could it be the evil beast that the old woman spoke of!
"Grandma, have you seen the appearance of that evil beast?" As long as the appearance is right, then you can be sure.

The old woman shook her head, "I've only seen black shadows, which are shorter than the cliff in front of me."

"Grandma, is there any legend about that evil beast? Can you tell me?" Sheng Hou asked again. Treasures are usually related to legends.There might be some clues to be found.

The old woman nodded, "That's a legend that has been circulating for a long time: It is rumored that a great war broke out in the fairy world for thousands of years. At that time, in order to quell the war, the gods sealed the five gods in five directions. The dormant place of the Donghua Immortal! Later, tomb robbers were prevalent in the south, and the gods put an evil beast here in order to ensure that the Donghua Immortal would not be disturbed."

Immortal Donghua, isn't that guy's dojo in the North Cold Country?Sheng Hou rolled his eyes again and again.

On the other hand, Ji Chongxiao, who was on the side, reacted greatly.He directly crushed the quilt in his hand!

Sheng Wan heard the sound of 'clack', and before he could see the poor cup, he saw a pile of powder falling from his hand to the ground!

"It turned out to be like this! No wonder..." No wonder he couldn't find it after all these years of searching!God, you really fooled everyone!

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing that he was staring at her with such terrifying eyes, Sheng Wan couldn't help asking weakly.
